Hey there! In Today’s video, I shared a few cards using the new Altenew 36 pan watercolor set and tested different methods of use. Watercolor can be somewhat difficult, but certain techniques make them easier to create with!

For the first card, I used a water brush that dispenses water for you with the Hello Gorgeous stamp set. I use the water brush often for convenience; however, I find that it gives less control because the water dispenses by itself. I used minimal water and took a bit more time to blend the colors together.

On the second example, I used the Inked Flora stamp set with a paintbrush to add the color. This time, I used lots of water and it helped to blend the colors. Water and watercolors are friends and play nice together, so don’t be afraid to add lots of water! I added a beautiful rainbow of bright colors around the flower!

For the background, I added grey watercolor all over. I varied the amount of water to get different shades and blending variation on the background. To finish it off, I added splatters with black watercolor for even more contrast!

On the last card, I blended with a paintbrush and used beautiful florals from the Hibiscus Bouquet stamp set. When using a regular brush, I used two cups of water… one to clean the brush and one for clean water. This helps to give super clean and vibrant colors on your project!

I used the Doodled Dots cover die and painted watercolors through the design. Again, I varied the amount of water and let some of the colors seep underneath the design. This gives a really natural looking watercolor background and gives a great grounding place for the flowers.
